2025 Adult Gala: Disco Fever for Self-Advocates 18+

What to Expect

But on your best sparkles and brightest colors- it's time to hit the dance floor! 

We are so excited to be hosting our 8th Annual DSG Gala for self-advocates ages 18 and older. This year, the theme is Disco Fever! Adults will eat a fantastic catered dinner, strike a pose in the photo booth, make new friends, and boogie the night away. Dates are welcome and invited! Plus ones are not required to have Down syndrome and may be a peer buddy, similar aged sibling, boyfriend/girlfriend, or friend. Plus ones are required to be 18 years of age or older.

Dinner will include:

Light Herb Chicken (GF, DF)

Mashed Potatoes (GF)

Fresh Steamed Broccoli (GF)

Rolls

Garden Salad with Ranch

Dessert (GF, DF)

Attire: Sequins, bright colors, dresses, suits, fun patterns—anything that shines and fits the disco theme! We love when guests dress to impress.

DSG staff and volunteers will be present throughout the evening to help facilitate the event and ensure a safe, inclusive, and welcoming experience for all attendees.

Registration opens Friday, October 24 and closes Monday, December 2, or until the event it full
